Scientists in Belgium created a mouse model that catches dangerous side effects of antibody drugs before they reach patients, potentially saving lives and billions in failed trials. The breakthrough could prevent tragedies like past blood clot deaths from drugs that seemed safe in early testing.
Scientists at UT Southwestern developed an antibody that shrank resistant lung tumors in lab tests, opening hope for patients who run out of options. The treatment worked even against cancers that stopped responding to existing drugs.
Scientists at UCLA have discovered how to make a promising cancer therapy work better against deadly prostate cancer by combining two drugs that attack tumors from different angles. The breakthrough could help thousands of men whose cancer has stopped responding to standard treatments.
A breakthrough AI platform just doubled the success rate of antibody design, potentially cutting drug discovery timelines from months to weeks. Pfizer is now using this technology to tackle diseases that have stumped researchers for years.
Scientists have developed an AI-powered system that designs and tests antibody treatments in less than five weeks, a process that traditionally took months or years. This breakthrough could dramatically speed up how quickly new medicines reach patients who need them.
A powerful documentary series exposing Ghana's evolving drug crisis is earning recognition from national drug enforcement leaders. The investigation reveals how traffickers are now hiding drugs in everyday foods to reach young people.
A Stanford professor has a solution to generic drug shortages that have plagued American patients for years. Independent lab testing could restore trust and reliability to medicines 90% of Americans depend on.
The Supreme Court rejected challenges from six major drug companies, allowing Medicare to negotiate lower prescription prices for millions of Americans. This landmark decision marks a major victory for affordable healthcare.
When pharmaceutical patents end, generic competition can slash prices overnight, making life-saving medicines affordable for millions. India's booming generic drug market shows how this shift is reshaping global healthcare access.
The Trump administration just proposed a fix to stop drug companies from dodging Medicare price negotiations with a sneaky loophole. The change could save millions of seniors money on prescriptions starting in 2029.
Colorado just became the second state approved to bring prescription medications from Canada, potentially lowering costs for residents struggling with high drug prices. The FDA's approval marks another step toward making medicine more affordable for Americans.
Scientists created a vaccine that trains the immune system to recognize entire classes of synthetic opioids, not just single drugs. This breakthrough could finally keep pace with drug manufacturers who constantly tweak fentanyl's structure to evade detection.
ProPublica's free Rx Inspector tool now lets anyone trace generic medications to their factories and see safety records. Doctors, researchers, and patients are using it to make better decisions about the drugs they prescribe and take.
Maryland just became one of the first states to put a hard limit on prescription drug prices, slashing the cost of a common diabetes medication. Starting January 2027, patients and government programs will pay no more than $204 for a month's supply of Jardiance.
